Ice storm and band pictures
Saw Agent Orange at the Jackpot last night. Honestly, as much fun as I had and everything, I probably wouldn't have paid the $10 to get in. Or, if I had, I'd probably have regretted it. The Klusterfux were great, as was Iron Guts Kelly (they're always good, really).
Agent Orange was good, but I've never been a huge fan. "Bloodstains," "Too Young To Die," "Everything Turns Grey" (which was what they opened with), and their covers - "Pipeline," et al - have always pleased me, but they've never been high on my list of '80s punk acts. Really, I'd've preferred to see Reagan Youth, the Zero Boys, or Naked Raygun.
It was a funny evening, however. It seemed like every band broke out a cover or two or three. The Klusterfux knocked out the Sonics, Johnny Thunders, and the Kinks. Iron Guts Kelly did Slapshot and S.O.D., while Agent Orange did an Eddie Cochran by-way-of the Who take on "Shakin' All Over." Also, while I was walking to get some batteries out of my backpack, I stopped a drunken midget stripper from accidentally taking off with my coat. Fun times, really. Pictures are here at Rock Star Photography.
The ice pictures are the prettiness. Big shots, so they're behind the cut.
